Santosh and His Horse by Santosh Acharya
Santosh had a lovely horse whose fame spread far and wide so that everyone who saw it or heard of it wished to buy it. But Santosh refused to sell it as he thought his horse was his the most precious property. There upon a thief decided to take it away by cheating.
Disguising himself as a beggar and pretending illness, he waited by the roadside on the route where Santosh was touched by the sight of the supposed sickman. The sickman pretended in such a way that he had really become sick. Santosh dismounted and offered to help the sick man onto his horse and carry him to a place where treatment could be arranged. But the beggar didn't move and said faintly,” I have been without food for days, so I cannot rise; I have no strength at all."
Santosh lifted him and placed him upon the saddle. Then the sick man galloped away leaving Santosh surprised. At last Santosh called the thief to stop when he was at a safe distance and the thief stopped. "You have taken my horse but you don't tell anyone.” Santosh said. "Why not"? The thief asked. "Because one day another man may lie by the roadside really ill and your mischief is known, anyone will hesitate to stop and assist him" said Santosh.
The thief was touched by that. He rode back and gave the animal to its right owner promising not to repeat such work for the next time.
